More than just news: Schneps Media brings people together through great events | amNewYork

"I saw women not being recognized for their business acumen, she said. And so events became part of what we did. The first Power Women In Business took place in Queens in 1994 and honored local leaders. Today, more than 30 years later, Schneps Media's Events division hosts eight annual Power Women events, as well as Power List programs and more than 25 other professional awards and networking events across New York City, Long Island, the Hamptons and Palm Beach."

"The events honor leaders in regions like Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, as well as community-focused events for LGBTQ+, Caribbean-American, Latino and Healthcare professionals. The organization has honored hundreds of community leaders and raised tens of thousands of dollars for organizations, including Life's WORC (which Victoria Schneps helped to found), the Sophia Valsamos Foundation and Paws of War."

"The events are a natural outgrowth of Schneps Media's legacy of hyperlocal community news. By fostering deep relationships in the community, Schneps Media's publications, such as amNewYork, Long Island Press and Brooklyn Paper, are natural connectors with prominent local figures."

What began as a local initiative has evolved into Schneps Media's Events division hosting eight annual Power Women events plus Power List programs and over 25 professional awards and networking events across multiple regions. The events honor leaders in Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and serve specialized communities including LGBTQ+, Caribbean-American, Latino, and healthcare professionals. These events have recognized hundreds of community leaders and raised tens of thousands of dollars for charitable organizations. The events naturally extend Schneps Media's hyperlocal community news legacy, leveraging deep community relationships built through publications like amNewYork, Long Island Press, and Brooklyn Paper to connect prominent local figures.
